- NoHi , just a few thing that come to mind that you can consider ...
Did a metal halide bulb break and the glass bulb fall into the tank ?
thinking of bulb gasses ect for poisoning...
- Yes, its a robosnail, but I had this problem before I put it in the tankDo you leave the / a magnet cleaner attacked to the tank ?
These are often not waterproof and the magnet rusts in the water...
- Ok will dohave you tested voltage when all equipment that can switch on ...is on.
When testing the water for voltage move the probe around the equipment , i here that the current runs in the straightest line to the easiest path so you might be just testing in the wrong area?
- No, none of thisHave you cut or broken allot of Cerlerpa in your tank ( Macro algea ) recently ?
the" blood " of cerlerpa is poisonous...
- I added a thin layer of rough gravel to the tank to keep the substrate down which I collected from blouberg, because it was blowing around and noticed a strange algae growth thereafter. I removed the algae because it was on my coast to coast overflow, and have not noticed it again. I don't use NSW thoughDo you use NSW could there have been red tide - or do you have strainer algae blooms that could be toxic or robbing the Oxygen - ive had a strange red clown that grew in the tank in a matter of hours that was visible every day at 4:00 ish..
- None of thisHave you had a anemone get chopped up in the power heads - the stinging tenticles release the toxin into the water volume where it goes straight onto the gills ...
- My buckets are kept in a seperate room so that this cannot happen, so I doubt it. If so why are the corals not affected and the other fish ?Did the maid or anyone else may be use your water change buckets for car was / laundry day and not tell you - washing chemicals into the tank when you used it last.
- Only use meds in QT where no UV is presentDo you use parraguard or any other med in the tank where there's a U.V light ?
the U.V breaks the bonds of medicines - possibly making a safe medication harmful ...
- The deaths are just too quick for this. Fish die within 24 hours of being introduced to DT from QTGill parasite:
dip the fish in Blue line - Safty stop for all external parasites - @R89.00
Its just a two part dip for 40 minuts ...
- Dont use NSWOr NSW algae blooms that poison or rob tank of 02
- Keep one for me I will be collecting it over the weekend for sureWe have a oxygen test kit @ R99.00
- NoP.S
Have you change your R.O membranes lately - New membranes need to be "Rinsed for a few hours as they have "Preservatives" on them to keep them sterile ...
By the way - All the live stock that died recently was stock I bought from you guys, and they were in great shape
